"Give It Up" is a song by English band Talk Talk, released by Parlophone in 1986 as the third single from their third studio album The Colour of Spring.
"Give It Up" peaked at number 59 in the UK Singles Chart.
Upon its release as a single, Jim Reid of Record Mirror described "Give It Up" as "well polished, airbrushed even" and commented that "I can see their appeal as light purveyors of ambient pop".
"[2] The Huddersfield Daily Examiner felt the song's elevation to single status resulted in the band "continu[ing] in the laidback psychedelic groove" and commented, "'Give It Up' takes a few listens, and as such might not have the impact of 'Life's What You Make It'.
"[3] In his 2019 retrospective "Celebrating the Genius of Mark Hollis in 15 Songs", Ryan Leas of Stereogum described it as "emblematic of the soulful and organ-drenched sound" of The Colour of Spring and noted Hollis' voice for how "he could take a simple and empty phrase like 'give it up' and make it feel profound in his reading of it".
